“The creative process ignites our imagination, and I believe that that same imagination is what will propel us forward with issues of social change. I do think we have to acknowledge that we are a very capitalistic and consumptive nation, and that talk about conservation or issues of sustainability is never going to be popular with the dominant culture because it means checks and balances on an economy that is reserved for the dollar, rather than an economy that honors and respects spiritual resources and the right of all life to participate on the planet, not just our species.” ThinkingBelieveMeanSpiritualCultureI BelieveNationsSocialProcessImaginationEconomyCreativeIssuesEnvironmentPlanetsBalanceHonorResourcesDollarsSpeciesChecksAcknowledgeSustainabilityCreative ProcessDominantConservationSocial ChangeReservedIgniteDominant CultureHonor And Respect Author:Terry Tempest Williams

“Another potentiality of our irrepressible juvenility is a capacity to maintain until the onset of senility an active creative interaction with our environment. We persist in exploring, investigating, inventing, discovering.

“Creative energy manifests in the 'aura' of the environment - the distinct atmosphere, quality and 'air of the place.' It has a contagious effect on people. When we walk into the environment, we know immediately whether or not the energy is present.
